Thanks for the help everyone. I have just ordered the death certificate for Elizabeth posted by Minnehaha. I wasn't sure if that was actually hers as it states she was 89 years of age but I will have a look and see.

In response to Alan, I am not aware of any family links to Waiariki and Rotiti.

[Elizabeth was in her 90th year therefore she was actually aged 89. If this is what you were querying?]

It is what I was querying Minnehaha, I was expecting to see 90Y instead of 89Y. Thank you for the info regarding William, I know little about him.

I notice that you have "ede" as part of your nom de plume. I came across the name of Ede in this newspaper snippet, Mrs. Abel Dickinson given as his next of kin.

Cheers Minnehaha,
